Brigitte Handley & The Dark Shadows are a Sydney based 3 piece who's "call to non-conformity" and sound has been described as "indie rock 'n' roll with a dark edge and defiant punk attitude". Brigitte Handley fronts the Dark Shadows on vocals and guitar, along with Carly Chalker on bass, and Nerida Wu on drums, they make no apologies for their fiery assault of their instruments, creating a unique and independent sound and style.
The band formed after Brigitte met bass player Carly Chalker at a punk gig. They joined forces and played a few low-key shows while searching for the right drummer. Brigitte and Carly met Nerida Wu at a gig mid 2006. They played a few shows together and Nerida became a full-time member of The Dark Shadows early 2007.
Proving their live shows are just as dynamic as their recordings, Brigitte Handley & The Dark Shadows have toured regularly throughout the main venues in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and the central west.
